Today I feel like sharing a song that I found very powerful and more than a little saddening.
Lyrics

og eftir hvssum grti
So ilt er at leggja st vi hann
i onga leggur mti
Dagurin lur, nttin kemur
dimmir jr so fra
morgin salum hestar dyst at ra.
"Ta er so vnt tnum landi
t har er veur og vindur
Ngv betri er Noregs fjllum
t stir vi meg bindur."
Fylgdi hon honum so langt lei
til gtur tku at skilja
"Ta, i eg vendi aftur fr tar
ta er ei vi mn vilja."
Turi situr Noregs fjllum
hon vekir harm og pnu
So mig fellur hon blig tr
bar armar snar
Dagurin lur, nttin kemur
dimmir jr so fra
morgin salum hestar dyst at ra.
English translation
SPOILERS! (Click to view)The water runs of high mountains
and along sharp rocks
So painfull it is to love him
who doesn't love you back
The days goes by, the night comes
darkness falls on fair ground
Tomarrow let us saddle the horses for a race
"Your land is so unpleasant
for there is bad weather and wind.
Much better it is in the mountains of Norway
to stay here in love with me."
She followed him so far on his way
until paths went separate ways.
"When I turn away from you now
it is against my will."
Turi sits in the mountains of Norway
she invokes harm and pain
So mournfull she fells bloody tears
down both her arms
The days goes by, the night comes
darkness falls on fair ground
Tomarrow let us saddle the horses for a race
